Once upon a time it was the most award winning Pizza Port beer of all time. Now it has found a new home at The Lost Abbey.
A massive brown ale base that is made from four fermentable sugars including Malted Barley, Raisins, Candi Sugar and Sour Cherries, this beer is fully fermented before being placed in Bourbon barrels where the beer ages for one year with the Sour Cherries and the wild Brettanomyces yeast that we inoculate the barrels with.
One of the most complex and unique beers we make each year.

Wow. Very nicely executed in a style I love. Bigtime plum and apricot with some tangerine and pepper. Grapefruit bretta. Deep maroon pour with good head and lacing. Tangy finish with touch of grapefruit astringency. Tap at Sovereign Savor event.

Pours dark brown but still brown, no head. Aroma has booze, sweet dark fruits. Plums and fig fruits. Taste has some intense vinegary sourness. Cherries and some smoky something. Don’t know, just crazy beer. Woody barrel somewhere there too, raisins are probably to blame. Acidity is high, and flavours are full on. Aftertaste is nice lingering and long. I am also getting some tobacco or some reason. Bitterness there. Overall,yep, just crazy.
